What makes you try harder each day? I have chosen a life of public service because I care deeply about others. The International Pageant system is a perfect fit for me because of the systemís dedication to community service and its commitment to others.

Describe the perfect day for you...I was a volunteer Firefighter with my local Fire Department. Although not a typical choice for a pageant contestant, it is both a challenging and rewarding way to give back to your community. I enjoyed every minute of it!

How do you make a difference each day?I think that staying healthy incorporates mind, body, and spirit. I exercise regularly. I make time to savor everything that life has to offer, including ice cream and fries. The important thing is indulging in moderation.

Describe your most treasured item in your home?It is each family memberís commitment to other members both as individuals with unique needs and strengths, and also as one unit striving toward a common goal. Most importantly it is remembering to love each other no matter what curveballs life throws at you.
